my next car, moving away...
Hey guys, I have been a faithful 240sx owner for the past year and a half. It has done me nothing but good, and was a blast to drive. Unfortunately, I was rear ended by a pick-up truck and I had no collission on her, so she's gone now, well sitting in my auto shop at school, it hurts to look at her everyday when I come into class. Well anyways I recently purchased my next car, a 1992 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD, I know there might be some flames on this purchase but I am quite happy with it. This site has taught me alot about my previous car, and saved me a fair chunk of change along the way. Thanks for all your help guys/gals, it has been much appreciated.

Uninsured and suspended license, He was driving a old *** Mazda B-Series Truck, A lot of damage to his truck too, serves him right. he got taken away at the scene, because he apparently had previous violations. But basically I am screwed over, I guess I can take him to court, but the car cost less then 2g's so I don't know what I can get out of him and if the effort is worth it. Maybe we can make it our project and have it driving again by time the Talon breaks down 
Oh ya I am not to familiar with what my options are in this case either it's been a few weeks, I have all the information, and can easily obtain a copy of the police report. But what are my options??

But what are my options??Well, you can take him to court, but it'll be hard to find a lawyer to work on contingency for such a small sum. If he get's locked up you're really screwed, but if he has a job you can garnish his wages. First you need to get a settlement, maybe the $2k is covered by small claims court. A collection agency probably won't work (he has bigger problems) and they take 25-50%. Yeah, you're kind of screwed, but much better a $2k loss than a brand new car. At the very least, you'll be able to write it off your taxes (partly). Sorry, that's the best I can think of.
